Our Story

Obviously we love our people, we hired them – but our clients do too.

This campaign provided the nation with some well needed escapism during pandemic times. Delivering some instant cheer (for the project team as well as consumers), we helped PepsiCo run a competition to find the biggest Wotsit!

It launched in a big way. Wotsits hit the news setting a Guinness World Record for the longest ever Wotsit creation at their factory in Leicester, measuring in at a whopping 10.66m!

This was followed by the national launch of Wotsits GIANTS – double the size of the usual Wotsit. And to continue the buzz, a promotion ran alongside the launch, offering consumers the chance to win £10K and a year’s supply of Wotsits GIANTS.

You guys are great, super responsive and experts, great partners we can rely on making our lives easier.

Raphael Capitani, Senior Brand Manager at Mondelēz International

The team at Umbrella are fantastic – professional, easy going and great to work with. They are a massive help and often an extension of our team, especially when working out the finer details of a mechanic and the impact upon cost.

Joanna Scofield, Senior Consultant at Cat Among the Pigeons

Together with our trusted partners Umbrella, we’ve successfully run category-leading promotions which have helped us become the fastest growing ice cream brand in Europe. The Umbrella team are extremely commercially minded and have been fantastic at accommodating the needs of a small business and are always there to bounce ideas around with. They’re also nice people to work with too which makes all the difference.

Matthew Sherratt, Head of International Marketing, Oppo

Nicola and the team at Umbrella have been super helpful this year in assisting us with some voucher promotions and offering constant support through the process. They are a great team and really know their stuff, we wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again.

Paula Bond, Working on WKD at SHS

Umbrella are a great sounding board and advisor for our future campaigns as well as trouble shooting on live projects.

Stuart Jeffrey, Shopper Marketing Manager, UNILEVER

We always consult the team at Umbrella when we need promotional risk advice. They are consistently fast to respond on our projects and usually have a few extra creative ideas to throw into the mix. Any cross-quoting we’ve done usually shows Umbrella represents the best value as well as a great level of service. In a world that is all about reputation, Umbrella has never let us down. And I mean every word.

Stewart Hilton, Creative director, ZEAL Creative Limited

Umbrella are an important part for us to ensure we execute great campaigns.
